Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: August 24, 2020 ~ August 30, 2020

Cygames is certainly on a roll here, with the success of Princess Connect! Re:Dive, its other IP, Granblue Fantasy The Animation has also been seeing a steady number of copies sold on its first week. This time however, the second season of Granblue experienced better sales than its previous volume, topping the chart at 8,290 copies. Volume 6, debuted at 7,593 copies.

It is thanks to the awesome folks back at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so why not head over to their site here, and show them lots of love! For the week’s data, you can find them here for Blu-rays and here for DVDs.

The week’s chart is dominated mostly by new volumes that were released during the week. Following closely behind Granblue is Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T at 4,745 copies sold while at number 3 is Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta… at 4,324 copies sold. The chart this time around, saw a markedly better sales compare to the previous week.

The following week – August 31 to September 6, will see some interesting new titles released, which includes Princess Connect! Re:Dive’s second volume. Judging from the success of its first volume, I believe it shall continue the trend. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
